IPA is my spirit animal
So I have been kicking around in my head what's better for my chest freezer with two stage fermentation control. I'm measuring on the outside of the carboy with bubble wrap on it. Say the beer temp is set to 60 degrees and I have a 2 degree variance on it. When it hits 62, it will kick on and cool down to 60. Sometimes it over corrects, drops the temp to 59, and then kicks the heater on to get back to 60.
So my question is, is it better to have the heater plugged in, or just naturally let the temp rise again? It seems to cycle much faster with it plugged in, since the warm air stays in the freezer, bringing the temp up faster. I think it is better for the yeast to not be at different temperatures since they have to adjust each time the temp changes.
Thoughts?
